YES co-founder Chris Squire has passed away at 67. Cancer is so cruel

Share your favorite YES tracks. I never saw him live, did anyone here ever go to a concert?

I saw them when that Canadian hobbit (Benoit David) was singing instead of Jon Anderson when they played in D.C. a few years ago. Wasn't Chris Squire the "owner" of the Yes act? R.I.P. Yes :sadwave:
